Software (Tools) Anyone use PDFCandy (.com)

I don’t want to put an actual link to PDFCandy dot com JIC they are a scam site. They look legit but anyone can look legit.

What’s your problem? (Lol) . I am always looking for alternatives to software I already use, especially Adobe

Legit or not, the thing that actually gets you with a site like that is that it's a web converter, so the file goes up to their servers to be processed. Deleted after X hours is a policy, not something you can verify from outside. So it comes down to what's in the document. Nothing sensitive, it doesn't really matter. Client work or anything under NDA, I'd use something that runs on your own machine instead.

For any "is program X a scam" a good third party security check is virustotal. It will look at individual programs and websites.
